If (and only if) the mounting block is aluminum, you could chemically
dissolve what's left of the steel bolt by taping up the far side and
putting some alum (not the abbreviation for aluminum) in it.

Your handlebars are pretty bent up. defi
Matt, thanks for the images!
I finally got the bar off the bike to get a better idea how far out they
were. I have some pictures at the google drive link below, looks like they
aren't too much further gone that yours, so I'll give them a shot on
bending them back before I go try to find new ba
I sometimes use a pipe bender and our big strong son. Once i took the bars
off and positioned them under the front wheel of my car and just nudged
them until they straightened out. Usually though, on the bike provides the
best leverage with another person.

That was definitely my first thought. I was concerned about the structural
integrity of the bars if I were to just bend them back. Wasn't something I
really wanted to mess with. Do you think it would be safe? I guess it
depends on how far we're bending them.
thanks!

Bars are easy enough to bend back with a second person helping - a block of
wood and a small sledge hammer will do it

First wanted to say thanks to this group for such a great community! I love
reading about the different projects and questions people post on here.
Sadly I recently dropped my bike, and it hit the handlebar hard enough to
bend em back a good bit. I'm having trouble nailing down the measurements
